About the series

Session 3: Hidden Histories – Leveraging Census Records and Newspapers

Discover how census records and historic newspapers can reveal powerful stories about your ancestors’ lives. This session will teach you how to trace households over time, spot key changes in family structures, and decode clues hidden in census columns. You’ll also learn how to find newspaper articles that provide context—like obituaries, social mentions, court reports, and community happenings—that bring your family’s past to life. Whether you're just getting started or looking to deepen your research, this session will help you uncover the everyday details that make your family history more complete.
